CHPT 28: Protists Flashcards
Fossil evidence of eukaryotes date back to
1.5 BYA
DNA is not found in this organelle
endoplasmic retuculum
The products of budding are
two cells, one of which is smaller than the other
Both diplomonads and parabasalids
have multinucleate cells
Trypanosomes are examples of
kinetoplastids
The function of the apical complex in apicomplexans is to
penetrate host tissue
If a cell contains a pellicle it
can change shape readily
Stramenopila
are small haris on flagella
Which exhibit an alteration of multicellular generations?
brown and red algea
Which are photosynthetic
diatoms and dinoflagellates
which is most likely an ancestor of an animal
choanoflagellates
When food is scarce, cells of this organism communicate with each other to form a multicellular slug?
cellular slime molds
what most accurately supports the endosymbiotic theory
antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria can have the same effect on mitochondria
Which feature of the choanoflagellates was likely to most significant for the evolution of animals?
flagellum with funnel shaped contractile collar also found in sponges
In slime molds, which features afford the greatest advantage for surviving food shortages?
cellular slime molds produce spores when starved
